There's no doubt about it: when it comes to soundtracks, few – if any – are more influential than the FIFA series.

With tens of millions of players every year, football's dominant game franchise showcases some of music's hottest talent with each new release – and things are no different for FIFA 19.

According to EA Sports' own spiel, the game will feature 43 tracks from artists in 16 different countries, ranging from "South Korean EDM" to "Zimbabwean bangers". (FFT may well just stay on the menu screens instead of actually playing the game – Ed.)

The forthcoming game – released in full on September 28 – may well offer a platform to some of the world's finest emerging artists, but this year's instalment also features an original score from legendary composer Hans Zimmer (see also: Gladiator, The Lion King, Inception and many, many more) in The Journey.
